Wg. Motherboard change, I could not use my old IDE burner. Therefore I bought this SATA drive without lengthy searches on Amazon. After the item description, I had assumed that a burning program included in the full version, but there were only Nero Essentials as a trial. Therefore only 3 stars because I would have ordered a cheaper drive without software. When burning program I now use CDBurnerXP what is so far without any problems.
